Using the whimsical fun of the classic Alice in Wonderland, hosts Susan and Dawn created a magical experience for their best friend’s daughter’s celebration. Chrystal Cienfuegos Photography captured this event in exquisite detailing. A favorite section of the tale brings Alice to a mad tea party, which was used for this wonderful theme.  With a blend of fabulous colors and all sorts of eclectic decor, this party was certain to be a blast!

The innovation with the decorations was outstanding. A sign was made with arrows pointing in all directions with fun little words and each was painted in different colors with fun pictures of flowers and butterflies to add a soft touch.  The bold display of colors everywhere really made this event one of a kind.  Each bit of decor had it’s own unique look, giving a fantastic imaginative effect.

One guest table was covered with a deep purple cloth, so the white tea set stood out marvelously along with the bright napkins and flowers.  A fun centerpiece with flowers stood in the center very tall so the guests could still easily see each other when sitting.  It was decorated with fun little dangling strands for a neat look. All sorts of chairs were used, giving that eccentric look that we all associate with the Mad hatter’s tea party.  And no Alice adventure would be complete without an assortment of clocks around!.  

Other fun details included beverages tagged with little notes saying “Drink” in vintage style fonts and food with tags saying “Eat” to match. Giant colorful poms hung from the ceiling to fill the room with the vibrant tones. For a delicious treat a two-layer cake was made and decorated to match the tea party theme splendidly. It had red diamonds around the bottom layer and a neat little handle and steam decoration on the top layer.

This Fashion Themed Bridal Party brought together everything a girl could want to celebrate her upcoming nuptials. Event planner Matthew of Carmen’s Banquet Center left no detail unattended, creating a sophisticated and lovely venue. With gorgeous photos taken by Lori Studios, this party was sure to be treasured forever.

One fantastic touch used for this party was the ladies who attended themselves, all adorned in black besides the pretty bride-to-be who, of course, stole the show in a gorgeous white dress.  All were perfectly decked out in shimmering jewelry, ensuring that the event would exude sophistication and fun.

The venue was stunning, a massive room with a stage for all of the entertaining. Each table was covered in a black cloth as well as the chairs, creating a uniform look that stood out. Silver was used to add a bright and elegant touch to all of the decor. The chairs were wrapped in giant silver sashes, silver chargers were placed in front of each guests seat, even silver runners went down the center of every table.

Adorable little gift boxes were prepared for the guests, round vibrant pink beauties tied with sheer black ribbons and topped with a cute flower.

The desserts were spectacular in their detailing, mini cupcakes frosted in white and pink and topped with flowers of the opposite color.  They were set on an elegant tiered tray, making it simple for guests to grab and go. Cookies were frosted in white and lined in pink, making each look like a wedding dress, giving an adorable effect.

The cake was a vision of perfection with three layers of classic beauty that was topped with a pink and black purse and of course, a black high-heel. Wrapped in jewels and detailed in bold pink, this cake was sure to impress.

Autumn is always a gorgeous time of year with all the bold color changes in nature and cooler weather.  It is also a great time for celebrating special events like bridal showers. With a Camping theme you can do all sorts of fun things to remember.

This Camping Themed party table is a perfect example of how you can bring together lovely fall elements and tasty treats to celebrate an impending lifelong commitment. Using an array of deep colors, camping items and natural items, this table stands out beautifully. Pocket Full of Parties the fresh take on camping fun, adding some neat touches that really brought the theme together.

Using a chalkboard to welcome the happy campers, a rustic touch was added to the table. The table cover was a plaid red, green and white cloth that blended smoothly with all of the colors of the decor and food. Adorable personalized labels were made for each food so the guests would know what they were eating and they added to the rustic charm as well.

Some of the sweet snacks were wonderfully unique, like donut-holes covered on top with chocolate and a tiny pretzel so they looked like acorns, These were set in a boat-shaped wooden tray all in a neat little row.  S’mores were set up to make it simple for the guests to grab each in ingredient, three metal bowls set in a tiered fashion kept it all neatly organized.  There were delicious chocolate cupcakes with cute little forest figure toppings and of course no camping party is complete without some yummy hot chocolate.

In between the many delicous food choices pine cones and leafy branches acted as table fillers, while adding to the Autumny feel of the table. With other fun details like rustic fishing tackles and stumps, this camping theme had it all.

Boasting a gorgeous color blending, this A Mint to Be Bridal Shower brought together two favorite tones to create a sophisticated venture that was certain to be a success. Time2Partay went all out on giving this event an elegant and lovely styling.

The venue area was perfect for the layout with a massive bay window framed in a deep mint tone that matched the theme colors nicely. In front of the window a large backdrop was set up with a fantastic paisley mint and white cover that set the stage for the treat table smoothly.  On the backdrop adorable works of art were displayed in a natural wood framing that added to the vintage charm of the decor.

The table used was a long rectangle, allowing plenty of space for the treats to be enjoyed. It was covered in a layering of gold cloth that stood out fabulously. On one end of the table a sweet pile of rustic suitcases were layered, giving texture to the table while supporting the bride-to-be who would be traveling right after the special day. The top case was opened and filled up with perfectly arranged white flowers, giving a sweet effect.

Another unique idea used for this table was a stand for cupcakes that was unconventional but allowed for a stylish and modern way to grab a treat.  It matched the suitcases nicely and was placed on the other end of the table for easy access. A neat scattered of flower petals in gold and white were laid across the table adding a delicate tone to the whole set-up.

The cake made for the party was a stylish and tasty looking bit of decor that the bride was certain to love. With mint, gold and white frosting, each detail was highlighted in a beautiful way.
